Well yeah Tendy is probably better than Bradman, but Bradman was 70 years ago, if he grew up in the modern era he'd still easily be the best. Though he wasn't, can understand the argument for Tendy even though I don't agree.

I may write a letter to the ICC asking them to remove the batting powerplay. It is too painful for fans to listen to commentators bleating on about how the batting team should take it early rather than waiting for over 36.

Proudly against the bring back Bennett movement since he is injury prone and won't last 5 days.

They used to go on and on about it right from the start of the innings. Not so much recently, but it is massively annoying. There is 50 overs ffs, stop focusing on just 5.

It's sad really. I thought it was a really good idea when it was introduced, since the three bowling powerplays were always taken in the first 20 overs. But it just never really took off as an effective tactic for the batting team and is just left to be used when over 36 comes around as if it were a mandatory thing. I wonder if the batting team even think about times when they can take it nowadays.
